From Discourse’s Rhetoric to Rhetoric’s Pragmatics: An Epistemological Study

Abstract

      Pragmatics is the result of the opening of the linguistic pattern to the indicators of  dimensions of the language. It has even opened up to other sciences and several domains knowledge and is considered a paralinguistic science. Due to the importance of this Western theory, a lot of scholars have tried  to establish rules for it in the Arab cognitive achievement be it in grammar, philosophy or …... Rhetoric has taken a wide range of these studies. In this study, we will try to highlight the rhetorical premises in the study of discourse from the Discourse’s rhetoric in general and Quranic discourse in particular and how to build the rhetorical concepts that contributed to the establishment of the Arab rhetorical curriculum according to the overlap of several cognitive aspects. In the other hand, the study of rhetorical pragmatics in order to establish its achievements or to tackle its procedural mechanisms. In addition, this epistemological study aims at defining the cognitive junctions starting from their subject. We were hoping that the study is based on these two themes: Foundational and authenticating studies would result in a theory of interpretative and procedural efficiency while preserving the distinctiveness of each science.
